Roku Video player now streaming live HD baseball games from MLB.TV


Weve always loved the Roku Video Player, and its getting even more flexible over time -- in addition to Netflix and Amazon video rentals, the $99 box can now play, pause, and rewind live HD baseball games in 720p from MLB.TV, as well as play archived games from the previous week on demand. Youll have to pay the one-time MLB.TV subscription fee of $35, but thats not terrible, especially if youre an out-of-market fan looking to catch your favorite team without having to trek out to a bar. Now if only the NFL would let anyone but DirecTV carry Sunday Ticket, wed be all set.
